Bijela holidays are right up your street if you're into pinch-yourself scenery and slowed-down days.
Out of the way
Bijela has spent a long time dodging the spotlight, which makes it a proper slice of make-up-free Montenegro. It’s a no frills sort of place, with winding traditional streets that stock family-run restaurants and diddy shops. And because it’s hemmed in by the Bay of Kotor’s cloud-nudging hills, there’s peace and quiet by the bucketload.
Walls and walks
The neighbouring bay has a namesake city that’s worth a gander. Hop in a car, and in three quarters of an hour you’ll be in Kotor. It’s got tonnes of tourist-ready strings to its bow – we’re talking ancient fortifications, modern shopping strips and a maze-like old town that boasts bars and museums.
